An article “More than one million foreign nationals are receiving benefits” (March 17, 2025) referred to the number of “foreign nationals” receiving benefits, and gave the rate of benefit claims for various nationalities. In fact, the particular DWP data on which the article was based recorded the nationality of claimants when registering for a National Insurance number, rather than the nationality at the time they were claiming benefits, so that some claimants might have since acquired UK citizenship, and would not be foreign nationals at the time they were claiming benefits. This correction has been published following an upheld ruling by the Independent Press Standards Organisation. Advertisement

Fully *one year later*, the Telegraph has been forced (by @ipso.co.uk) to admit that it was lying about foreign nationals claiming benefits.

First it's bread, now British animals. Someone needs to ask her about red buses and whistling milkmen pdq.

Prove it!

Beating Arsenal in the final would've been the dream banter bet.

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

WATCH: Nigel Farage and Robert Jenrick change fuel prices in Buxton at a Reform UK petrol station They have pledged to reinstate the 5p fuel duty cut in their first Budget

Farage and Jenrick pull a stunt in Buxton in protest at the fuel prices which are going up - on account of a war they both back - started by a man Farage flew thousands of miles to "have dinner with" only for said man to decide he was busy.

So much dignity going on.

The Tory press. They like her, but just want her to go further.

Van der Ven was *very* lucky not to get another red there

Not a brilliant start for my dream outcome of Spurs being relegated and beating Arsenal in the Champions League final.

That would have embarrassed 10yo me. And as the middle of 3 brothers I was pretty shameless at swearing black was white when i felt the urge.

Can anyone explain to me what the Blue Labour justification for this is? Who out there will vote Labour because Mahmood prevented a Sudanese Chevening Scholar? And to be honest, why won’t the PM simply overrule her?

Leaders of both parties should be calling for Witkoff's immediate resignation after these remarks. He is a Russian patsy, a traitor, and this has just gone for too long. It is has to end.

Farage and Badenoch both now giving it the 'who me pro-war?'

I like Pritzker. Think he may need to get on the 'Pic for a national campaign though.

Cos if you can't trust @darthputinkgb.bsky.social who can you trust

I have zero problem with politicians getting the occasional free night out, so long as properly declared.

note that it's the right-wing parties, who have complained that UK should have joined US strikes on Iran, who are now also demanding the Labour government steps up household help with energy bills

Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available

The Iran war should be a lesson for Keir Starmer's Government. If you take a clear line on an issue where the public agree with you then it's your opponents who end up having to back down, not you

Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

Sure I read somewhere that Caruso was considered the most popular entertainer in the world until Chaplin supplanted him. (No idea if true or not, but would need substantial non-elite audience to be even remotely credible as a claim)

🤞that US voters get to record their verdict freely and fairly in November.

No doubt Ofcom will say it's fine cos it's 'in line with audience expectations'. Which shows just how far those expectations can be shaped in a short time.

If you'd told me maybe three years ago that a UK news channel would be platforming someone to set out openly racist, far right, violent conspiracy theories, I'm not sure I'd have believed you. And yet here we are.

Howling at this one. Thank you!

For the old union types, the Greens are still way too hippie and always will be.

OJ chuckling, bit panicked, thinking 'what, even my monetisable YT account?'

Don't you know there's an exciting new twist? The bloke who's about to win the Oscar is already on the slide.
